Security Settings for Receiver XI Adapter

Use

If you have assigned the receiver agreement a communication channel with Adapter Type XI , you can specify settings for message security. In outbound processing, these security settings can be used to sign the address data and business data of a message. Technically speaking, the part of the SOAP header containing the address data (SAP main header) and the payloads of the message can be signed. This means that you can guarantee that the content of the message will not be modified without your knowledge during processing (data integrity).
